project

The dilemma
• Who? - The Hallmark of Battery Park City wants a
video communication system
• What? - With a video communication system, the
senior citizens can be able to see future events
• Why? - Many times the elderly
can forget where they placed
things
The problem
• Nobody really knows how to use the equipment
• The program is complicated to use
• Requires practice and a better
manual
The solution
• Pace University’s course CIS 102T
What is magic Box?
• It’s the company that makes the Aavelin Composer
software which is what is used for the layout and
scheduling of pages which then allows the user to
transfer completed projects to the player unit
• Costs around $3,695
